The 2014 MLS Dispersal Draft was held by Major League Soccer on November 19, 2014 to distribute players who were formerly under contract to Chivas USA. Chivas USA was contracted by the league following the 2014 MLS season.

The draft order was determined through a random weighted draw held on November 14, 2014.

The league confirmed on November 7, 2014 that Chivas USA striker Erick Torres would not be made available in the dispersal draft.

Unselected players

The following players were on the final roster of Chivas USA but were not selected in the Dispersal Draft. This list does not include players who were on loan to Chivas USA.

Other Chivas USA assets

Two draft picks held by Chivas USA at the time of its contraction were deleted from the 2015 MLS SuperDraft and not made available for selection in the dispersal draft. These two deleted draft picks were Chivas USA's natural third-round and fourth-round selections. Had Chivas USA not been contracted these would have been overall selections #48 and #69 in the 2015 SuperDraft.

Prior to being contracted, Chivas USA had already traded away its natural 2015 SuperDraft Round 1 (pick #6 to Toronto FC) and Round 2 (pick #27 to Seattle Sounders FC) selections. It had also acquired a Round 4 pick from D.C. United but Chivas had later traded this pick to Colorado Rapids. These picks, along with a Round 2 selection in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft traded to Columbus Crew SC, remained with the clubs which acquired them.

As of August 2015, the league had not announced the fate of the extra permanent international roster slot acquired by Chivas USA from Real Salt Lake in November 2004.
